  1. you can usually get a used ping in that range. Can't really go wrong with a Ping
  2. Have you heard the new term for the people who get hit the hardest from the Obama proposal? Henry High Earners Not Rich Yet In other words people who to work every day and EARN their money. What everyone fails to see is how a percentage works. let's say we all pay 17% income tax. Simple numbers a guy makes $10m pays $1700 but in reality pays $0 b guy makes $100m pays $17,000 But in reality pays $29,000 c guy makes $1mm pays $170,000 but in reality pays $390,000 isn't $170,000 more that the other guys? does he get his own lane on the highway? The funny thing (not really) is the guy who paid 0 got a "tax rebate" of $600 and the guy who paid $390,000 didn't get a check at all. How do you rebate to someone who didn't pay the tax in the first place got to go back to work now and redistribute my wealth, I'm going to be sick
  3. and if that one doesn't do it for you try this, My Decision 08 I'm voting Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse. I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't. I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would. I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they will then know we'r e really good people. I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius. I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of unborns so long as we keep all death row inmates alive. I'm voting Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as IT sees fit. I'm voting Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit the liberal fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters. I'm voting Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my @#% it's unlikely that I'll ever have another poin t of view. 'A Liberal is a person who will gladly give away anything they don't own.'

  5. i"m 6' 2'' and always thought I needed a 35 or 36. I seemed to sometimes stub the ground behind the ball. I now use a 33 and never stub it and putt much better
  6. make sure you take some balls to Grand Pines. There are a lot of places to lose them. Also if you are traveling with juniors they had a juniors play for free with a paying adult.
  7. Did rome let him talk? He's such an A
  8. Marriott's Grande Pines Golf Club is pretty good and Bay hill if you can get on is good as well as Falcons Fire
  9. would you be interested in a Super stroke grip? I got one on of my recent acquisitions and I'm pretty sure it will never see the golf course Black good shape, just like KJ uses
  10. When Barak gets back from visiting all 57 states we are going to have a Halloween party. Oh that"s right there are only 50 he should be back by now.
  11. Don't go. We are tilting too far to the left. I'll be the only one left to give up my candy.
  12. How can anyone really consider voting for this man??? this is actually true! http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/airplane.asp HI= He had this paint job before the Foreign trip==I had seen it before on either the yahoo news or Google. WHAT A DISGRACE!!! AND HE IS or is heALL AMERICAN???? Obama The Patriot - Removes American Flag From His Plane The Patriot Room Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 8:11:07 AM by Bill Dupray Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul ! of his 7 57. And as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail... What American running for President of the United States wouldremove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with a symbol of himself... Obama is such a despicable human being.
  13. WALKING EAGLE Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, you might enjoy reading this...'Walking Eagle' Senator BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York . HE spoke for almost an hour on HIS future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living, should HE one day become the President. HE referred to his career as a Senator, how he had signed 'YES' for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval. Although the Senator was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his 'red sisters and brothers'. At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the Senator with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle. The proud Senator then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds. A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they came to select the new name given to the Senator. They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.
  14. It is amazing how many intellegent people are willing to drink the Obama Cool Aid. Smoke and mirrors and no substance at all. Anyone who is embarrassed to be an American should not become President. Unless of course he is the Manchurian candidate. Discuss amonst yourselves.
  15. not only did I get the free grip, apparently when you requested the grip you entered a contest. I got a letter telling me I'd won. I thought it was a dozen balls. I got my choice of Pro V, Nike Ones, TM TP. Figured I'd try the TP reds. They came in today and to my delight it wasn't a dozen balls but a dozen dozens. I'm a TP red guy for a while. I hope I like em. Anyone have an opinion of How they compare to the Nike Platinums that I usually play>
  16. anyone know anything?
  17. I got an email last week from Golfsmith that they just dropped the price on the Burner draw to $150
  18. when I was at the Slighter shop he was using finger nail polish and wiping off the excess with acetone
  19. I think it depends on how many range balls you hit. Those rocks are killers to the face of a forged iron
  20. I've bought 230 golf items and they are all good. just watch the guys feed back scores. Now is the time to but a Scotty.end of the season, the economy is downthey are going for a song on ebay. when everyone sells it's time to buy.
  21. this thread is very timely for me. I had a 900 sq ft green in my basement with 5 holes that I drilled ou t the concrete and cemented in real cups. I just got hit by a floog and had to rip out the turf and now I'm looking to replace it. this is the turf I used. Very happy with it but I would like something faster. http://www.skillbuilder.com/puttingg...roducts_id=404 Any ideas on what to put under it for some break? wouldn't you know the floor is flat. I had thought sand but you have to glue the trf down and repeated walking on it would cause wear from the underside. Any suggestions on similiar turg and ???? would be welcome
  22. Back in the day anyone who thought they were a player carried a 1. I went 1-sw and driver. Maybe a 3 wood. You had to be 50 for a 5 wood and 60 for a 7 wood or you were a puss. Now whatever works.
  23. They are probably 15 years old, forged with an offset thus Goose neck. If I recall correctly, the heads are pretty big for a forged iron. Change the grips and give them a rip. For $35 how could you go wrong. They were $500 15 years ago.
  24. They play like a freaking dream! [/QUOTE] I guess you got your moneys worth
  25. It used to be ping by a long ways. The original Eye2 was there only iron and it really held it's value. Now everyone comes out with a new version every year or more often and the resale sucks.
